PTC Club and Event Happenings:
Yesterday, the Jog-A-Thon committee hosted a Pep Rally! There was cheering, dancing and a lot excitement in that gym. Not only were these volunteers excited but so was their hair.
When the students heard that if they reach their fundraising goal of $30,000, Mrs. Batsell and Mr. Young would be silly stringed in front of the whole school the entire crowd of students roared with excitment!
Let’s do this TIGERS!!
